Just that they are scooters and not bicycles.
Allen.....

It is only your opinion that you are "saying"

The fact is until the Government changes the law to agree with that statement, they are lumped in with bicycles.

However the issue is old and tired.

It's also just stunning people get hung up on such things as Name Tag, Class of Something.

All over the Internet this goes on.....

Owners of fast Honda Civics can't post in speed/mussle car forums, even tho the civic turns faster 1/4 miles then most Mussle.

PDA owners are kicked from message boards because their PDA has an oddball shell, even tho it has Windows CE running it like the ones doing the kicking.

E-bike owners rather then work toward a comman goal or friendship do battle and waist endless board space to argue it's a bike/ it's not a bike yadda yadda yadda!!!

One thing that seems to be over looked in all this by the Kit/Convert Bikes , lets say for argument sake the Government changes the law and force Scooter style e-bikes to insure/plate/lic. What is going to happen**********?

The people who opened shops, will close their doors shortly after. As bikes on their shop floor sit unsold. Many of the same shops also sell Kit Parts, however Kits alone will not keep them open. As people will turn back to cars or get full blown gas scooters.....why ride a limited speed bike and pay like a gas scooter ?

Now after that who will the Government turn on next???? To make up the shortfall in projected money that would come from such a move? Who is the next 2 wheel battery powered on the road mode of transport**********?
